    "content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, ordinarily, I would not raise issues or orders against my brother. He is my senior in profession and he is also the Chairman of a Committee I attend to very odiously and his knowledge of the law is impeccable. I want to discuss if he may be misleading the Hon. Members present on a point of law. If you look at the Bill of Hon. King’ara, he is seeking to establish a mandate which gives policy to the NTSA. That is the point. It is that mandate which is the mandate of NTSA under the law as it exists. So, it is not a question of regulations. It is a question of whether the law exists in the same manner and in the same way which the amendment is proposing. The component of regulation is a subsidiary issue to this debate. The component of regulation came about because the Committee noted that although there is a law, there is no sufficient subsidiary legislation or regulations that can accompany that law for enforcement. Hon. Temporary Speaker, could the Hon. Member for Tharaka qualify his issues on fact and law and review his statement to the fact that Hon. King’ara is bringing up the issue of regulations rather than the law so that Members should not be misled to think that there is no law and we are talking about regulations? He is very persuasive and because of the position he shares, his speech may sway the House. Then people will think that we are just uplifting regulations to be the law yet there is a law. With a lot of respect, we are only saying that the law has already given the mandate to NTSA. The policy of standardisation and the policy of enforcement. Therefore, the question is how to enforce that with the regulations. I submit."
